Tell Nevada State Legislature to raise the minimum wage!

The current minimum wage of $8.25 an hour is NOT enough to live on. A person working 40 hours a week (and it is rare to find companies hiring full time these days) for $8.25 an hour will only make $1320 a month BEFORE taxes. This is NOT enough for a single person to live on, let alone someone supporting a family. When companies do not have to pay our workers enough to live on, taxpayers take up the burden when these hard working people are forced to still turn to welfare assistance to make ends meet. Hard-working people deserve the dignity of earning a living wage.
